The Facts: When the Vikings decided not to give a restricted free agent tender to Beebe, they made clear they weren't getting rid of him. Now it's official that he's back. Beebe's agent announced on Twitter that Beebe and the Vikings have come to terms on a new one-year contract.
Diehards Line:
To keep Beebe from hitting the open market, the Vikings would have had to offer him at least $2.133 million for the 2021 season. The Vikings didn't want to pay that, but they came to an agreement on something less than that. The son of former NFL player Don Beebe, Chad joined the Vikings as an undrafted rookie in 2018 and had his best season in 2020, catching 20 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
